Mr. Chesky: I applaud the anti-discriminatory measure but how exactly will it work in practise so as not to be discriminatory and a possible security issue for hosts.
Example: The policy states that:
" If a host rejects a guest by stating that their space is not available, Airbnb will automatically block the calendar for subsequent reservation requests for that same trip."
And what if it is made not available because the guest has not read the description: has a dog, children, can't climb stairs, thinks the listing is elsewhere, wants a private bathroom, makes inappropriate remarks, has only verifications that can easily be faked and on and on.
How will Airbnb know why the host made it unavailable? Will there be new buttons and functions and drop down list to choose from? Will the guest be forced to take more responsibility for their choice via a series of yes, no, clicks etc.
Same goes for InstaBook.
Thank you
